Pros

The company has a great team culture — everyone I’ve worked with has been helpful, skilled, and easy to collaborate with. There's a good level of flexibility and work-life balance, and overall it's a solid place to work if you value autonomy. Communication with both colleagues and the client tends to be smooth, and leadership is generally approachable and open to feedback. Benefits: - $70 monthly allowance through the HeyAtlas platform, which can be used for things like learning, wellness, or tech. - 15 working days of PTOs - 6 national holidays (which can follow either the US calendar or your home country’s), plus Christmas, New Year’s Eve - Birthday PTO

Cons

One thing that could be improved is the lack of clarity around career progression. It’s hard to know what steps you need to take to grow within the company or increase your compensation, and there isn’t much structure or visibility when it comes to leveling or promotions.

Career progression and defined growth paths could be clearer. Sometimes it’s not easy to see the next step in your development within the company.
